Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Inspection ratings are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing scores are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third highest area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is more often than not a useful measure of a facility's rehabilitation. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we graded is long-term care. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
